Straight Ahead

Well when she got the grade She took her real first breath As a person without a single damn care left Put a note in her phone in double bold and red Everything that I need is somewhere straight ahead Oh, it's somewhere straight ahead Soon when the fuse was lit She tied a few loose ends Certain people she loved and just a few fake friends On the morning she left, she left a text on read Everybody I need is somewhere straight ahead 'Cause I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving Two years to the day She had it all worked out Wrote a couple of novels people wrote about Captivated the strangers at the bars uptown Thinking "Nobody here could ever slow me down Nah, they couldn't slow me down" When the thought occurred She bought the house she earned She started looking into venues for July the third She wants a west coast wedding with a mind like hers Before she puts a reminder in phone to reminder her that she knows I can do it on my own I can do it 'Cause I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving She's off the ground She won't look down She made a vow Don't stop her now The things that she wills Become things that she builds So don't stop her When she saw the movie all about her life Well she noticed some things they didn't get quite right 'Cause they added mistakes and cut her best damn nights Everybody who knew it sent a god damn text "Did you tell 'em to do it so it makes more sense?" She was staring straight ahead Took her time and said "I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving I don't wanna live for the summer I just wanna live where I wanna I don't see whatever your seeing I just think I'm better off leaving"
